Mine is four years old with 15,000 on it (I bought it a year ago with 5,000 miles on it)

I replaced the front pads at 6500 before going on the big Russian trip. I still have them - so I can probably get another 7,000 out of them.

The OE rear pads almost failed the MOT at 14500

I removed the OE chain and sprockets at 6500, again before the big trip, and replaced it with a Chain DID VX X-Ring Premium Gold & Black

It has a Scottoiler and looks in good nick after 9,000 miles.

Rear tyres: Again, in recent years generally TKCs which last about 3.5K miles for the S and T speed rated 130/80, and interestingly less than 2.5K for the 140/80 Q rated tyre. Most of the other tyres tried seemed to last pretty much 4-4.5K miles (Tourance, Battlewing and Trialmax TR91), apart from a Heidenau K60s which I got shot of early (didn�t like them).
I put a set of Trelleborgs on for some mud plugging on Salisbury plain - and the Tourances I swapped off looked as if they had another 2,000 miles in them with 8,000 on them already.

Funnily enough the front looked in worse shape than the rear.

Incidentally, part worn Trelleborgs are not that great on the road, or in mud to be frank.
